Lies Bring Life
27 July, 2002

Tonight
Tonight it all stopped
By just mere words it all changed.
With those simple words the world stood absolutely still for just long enough for me to see clearly.
I saw the world as it truly is.

With those words you brought my world crumbling around me. As I watched the pieces of the world fall around me shattering as they hit the ground the world again stopped. Only the cause of this hiatus of time wasn’t your lies nor the destruction of me. It was self-reconstruction.

In that frozen moment I experienced a rebirth within myself only to come out of that second layer of frozen time to find the pieces of the world still falling. This time in what would seem like a suicidal tendency, I helped tear down the remaining pieces of my world, with a new found strength from within me. Once I pulled the remaining pieces of the world from the sky, I began to rebuild my world. My world, not as it once was but as a new world, a happier world. A world where your torture, pain, and torment have no hold on me. I now have the courage to face you with no fear. I stand face to face with you and I now see you as at most an equal. No longer are you better than me. You’ve had your time to pretend you were better than me, now it is my time to show you and the world that I AM better than you.

As I place the last piece of my new world in the sky. The paused state of time is lifted as if it were a fog being burnt by the sun.

I stand tall and proud as a marine after a victorious battle. For that is what I am. I am a marine whose five year long battle as finally ended and victory belongs to me. Your lies have shown me the path to move on, and I am now on that road. Your power over me is nothing but vapor. Nevermore shall you taunt me tease me, or take control of me.

The sword of power is in my hands now, your time has ended. I am the victor of our battle. I am the better swordsman and now you shall see the real me.
